There may be a mythical "scrum" out there somewhere, but I and no one I've ever known has seen it. As much as I love a No True Scotsman fallacy, if this is the only thing people have ever seen and have ever attached the label "scrum" to...

Then that is what scrum is.

Well you don't know me but I am not a scrum master and I was on a team that had a great experience with it and are all still friends years after we all went to other jobs. It was the great experience of my life.

I know how it worked and why every team I've been on since has not been able to make it work and it all boils down to: 1) internal sabotage - an influential developer does everything they can to shit on it. 2) Management interference - developers could not change the things we needed to change to make it fit our circumstances.
